Turk Shell

The lady inside was nice when I stopped by on a Sunday morning. There was a drunk guy hanging around in the lot asking people to take selfies with him. Also, don’t pay at the pump; as the tamper — proof seal was broken.

How can I put zero star? I there a way to shut this place down?
My plan was to fill up my tank, not to have an aggravating experience.
The card reader at the pump doesn’t work. I go inside to ask if there was a problem. A very rude girl tells me to pre-​authorize my card and decide how much gas I wanted. I htrew a number then I asked how would I get the refund. She explains the process pretending that I knew about it. Everything should happen automatically. I kindly make her notice that she shouldn’t treat the customers this way and leave. She doesn’t even look at me.
I fill up and I am prompted to «go inside» again! She gives me the receipt, I say «Thank you» and she totally ignore me.
Wow! I wanted to fill up. I will NEVER patronize the gas station again. Don’t go there!

Can’t use credit cards, no explanation just «debit is better» from the clerk behind the desk. He did spend about five minutes trying to give a tourist from out of town directions, which was nice. So one star for that.
Just kidding! One star because I can’t go any lower.

Panhandlers, expensive gas, guy behind glass couldn’t be more apathetic about complaints of panhandling lady trying to «un-​clean» windshields on business property.
Only come here if you are desperate. Can I give zero stars?

Here right now 7÷9÷14 and this is the second time this week the guy left and put a sign up saying be back at 715 which is 45 minutes of no one attending this «24 hour gas station» really irritating when I’m almost out of gas completely and have to sit here and wait. They need to hire someone more responsible because this same guy is a slacker, collecting a pay check to go sit and back and dick around. Ridiculous. And then another time I was here the clerk was a TOTAL creep staring at my chest and taking forever to process my transaction so he could hit on me. Screw this place.
–adding Poor lady was out of gas and didn’t have her card on her, only cash and she had to ask people to take her cash so she could use their card. And I also, only had cash on me.

I don’t understand the point of having a card reader at the pump because you’re just going to be prompted to take your card to the cashier. For that reason, I prefer to use cash here. There’s no video screens at the pump so that’s a nice plus.
They have a Propane Tank Exchange BBQ cage, so that’s pretty handy if your propane tank runs empty. You just have to wait for the cashier to finish processing all credit cards from people who weren’t able to run their cards at the pump.

I’ve (unfortunately) had to come here on a number of occasions. Every time I’m here I get approached by panhandlers.
Every. Single. Time.
Sometimes they are nice panhandlers; sometimes they are super sketchy.
I think the clerk is cowering somewhere behind the plexiglass. I avoid this gas station whenever possible.

Awful place. Gas prices higher than the Arco and others in the area. Pump card readers don’t work so you have to go into cashier. Normally when filling up, you can say filling up, but here they want an amount which they charge to your card and then they refund the amount you don’t use back to your card. Panhandlers galore. Avoid at all costs. Hopefully they will start hurting enough for business that they clean up their act.

Awful. Kiosks don’t work — have to go see the cashier.

Check-​in on foursquare and use your AMEX card to get $ 3 off when you spend $ 25.
This used to be one of the Shell gas stations with lower prices. Not sure that’s still the case… $ 4.59 for premium today.
On the other hand, zero hobo incidents today. You win some, you lose some.

More often than not, you’ll find that 1 – 2 of the pumps are out of order. The signs that indicate so are not obvious at all — parking and reparking gets irritating fast.
I will only come to this Shell when I am in dire need of fuel — I do not enjoy explaining myself to panhandlers. It’s so awkward, no matter which way you spin it, to tell someone that you don’t have cash, or «please don’t touch my car «(with that dirty dirty squeegee).

Ok so Bambi is out of cigarettes in the middle of the night (bad habit) and decides to walk down to this shell at the corner of Franklin and Turk. It’s 5am and there is 1 customer at the window… the attendant is passed out on the register asleep and this dude is counting his pennies to buy a cigarette… (u can see where I am going). So am standing watching this guy literally count coins and am like it’s 5am and am cold and going thru a withdrawal… He finally gets done and starts banging on the window and yells «hey dude I need a pack of Marlboro lights 100’s». The attendant doesn’t here him so he starts banging hard again and finally wakes up and here we go again… the coins have to be counted… meanwhile cars are now puling up and a line is forming (morning commuters). People are now grumbling… and this lady yells out .“I have to go to work” am like… are u kidding me I have been standing her for the last 5 minutes watching this and you just got here Ms Thing…
Finally he is done and I guess the guy gave him more money and as he was trying to return the coins he drops them… here we go again. am like here let me give you a dollar and tell him to keep the change… oh no… this dude wanted his own coins. He was not taking any hand me downs from Bambi.
Time it took me to walk down to the gas station: 2 minutes
Time it took to get my Pack of cigarettes: 10 minutes
Time it took me to light up: 2 seconds (the rush was priceless).
The real deal: convenient but watch your stuff when you go to the cashier. I had a co-​worker lose her wallet while she was paying for her gas at the counter and forgot to Lock her doors to her car. The next day the people at the Psych clinic next door found it of course with the credit cards and money gone and called our office.
